Sounds good.

I just tested the new(er) GNOME on staging and unfortunately it is *not*
working.  I reconfigured my workstation which previously also used
GNOME.

I see a mouse pointer appearing, but gnome-shell never seems to properly
start.  (I=E2=80=99m using auto-login, so I don=E2=80=99t see the GDM login=
 prompt first.)

It would be good to see if this can be reproduced in a stateless system,
e.g. a virtual machine.

I already removed ~/.config/gnome-* and ~/.local/share/gnome-shell*, but
this did not change the behaviour.

Help is very welcome!
